It is remarkable to me that when they ever deign to name a specific complaint that requires them to overthrow American society (ie, a “revolution”) it’s always something like faculty senates or website DEI statements or calorie counts on menus.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Makes you think! Way fewer stories about email servers this year despite Trump having far worse lapses of email open records protocol and stealing classified docs! Wonder why it stopped mattering all of a sudden! bsky.app/profile/dodg...

not much to say that i haven't already said, but this week's opinions really drive home that we're in crisis. chevron's out, bribery is in, coups are good, air pollution can't be regulated because of freedom or something.

Roberts, overruling Chevron with incredible and unearned hubris: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

The thing about authoritarian fucking demagogues is that they can just make shit up and promise “it’d all be different with me in charge.” And it’s very easy to make that sound appealing.

Middle East Crisis: Israel’s Supreme Court Says Ultra-Orthodox Jews Must Be Drafted Into Militarywww.nytimes.com The justices said there was no legal basis for the longstanding exemption from military service. The decision threatens to shake Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government.

Can we go one damn presidential election without everyone talking about the Kennedy Nixon debate when debate time rolls around?

It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.

If the Founders had wanted this country to be a theocracy, seems like they probably would've mentioned it in the actual Constitution, right? Or if they spaced on it, maybe in the Bill of Rights a few years later? Oh, but you found a quote from one of them in a private letter? Cool. Cool cool cool.

They also held, 6-3, that it was okay for a football coach to hold mandatory prayers by pretending that he wasn't doing that

if you think this is definitely going to be held unconstitutional, please note that in 2019 the Supreme Court held that a giant cross on public land did not violate the Constitution

Yes, if you don’t like the choice between Trump and Biden, think of it as picking between Stephen Miller and Pete Buttigieg, Steve Bannon and Deb Haaland, Michael Flynn and Lina M. Khan, Alex Jones and Jessica Rosenworcel, or Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both sides are not “the same”

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

that you view opposition to second trump term as a “biden fandom” is staggering, it’s like you think dobbs etc have no consequences worth caring about

This is why Biden is "Different" and an obviously better choice than Trump. If you can't understand that, I have no idea what to tell you and we're all screwed.

Do people who post viral complaints about the cost of Taco Bell meals understand that they are part of a propaganda effort designed to weaken the US labor market (only in part in order to weaken Biden and the Dems and get Trump reelected)? bsky.app/profile/walm...

It's beautiful that the media has figured out they can alternate between "inflation down, possibly bad for jobs?" and "jobs up, possibly bad for inflation?" until America elects Trump again for them.

I think the hype over AI was tbh a lot more understandable than the hype over crypto or the metaverse. The thing that was surprising to me (and I assume others) about generative AI is that it seems to have not gotten any better over the last 18 months and weirdly has actually gotten actively worse?

Please stop referring to Telegram as an "encrypted app" that is somehow equivalent to Signal. All Signal messages are end-to-end encrypted by default. The only end-to-end encrypted messages on Telegram are one-to-one messages where you have specifically turned end-to-end encryption on.

when people say "Elon's ownership doesn't affect me, I just use the chronological feed" they elide the other side of this which is that which of your posts the site shows are chosen by the nazis now.

Why are Dems still posting at the Nazi site?? Pressley with 1M followers is getting buried by the algorithm & only 22k views. Just quit!

a friend of mine who works at the Apple store says sales of the much-touted Vision Pro have ground to a halt and that there have been a lot of returns. Steve Jobs would have never green-lit this product
